Seriously? Like it isn't bad enough that GPU prices are inflated and availability is non-existent but AMD are actually supporting these arseholes? I've been a long time supporter of AMD but every news piece I've seen over the last few days has been heart-wrenchingly disappointing. Maybe I will be pairing an Nvidia card with a Ryzen CPU after all.
